Work has been kicking my ass recently. A big deadline this week, and despite the nanny being out on Thursday, my having the kids on my normal Friday, and Jyotsna working this weekend/being away, I’ve probably logged close to 70 hours this week. I want this phase *done*, so I can coast a little bit into the holidays.

Actually, what I want to do is retire. But that’s not happening anytime soon.

I still need to put my outside Xmas lights up. We have the tree up and decorated, but every other house on my street has lights up, I’m feeling the peer pressure.
